Black History Month Watch Party - Telling Our Own Story

In celebration of Black History Month, please join us every Wednesday in February as we host a watch party, viewing Iowa PBS' Telling Our Own Story.  This collection of four short films features four Black Iowa filmmakers as they examine issues and give insight on topics impacting their community. These topics dominate the headlines and their culture as a whole. The four films provide a unique perspective to show what life is like for Black Iowans today, while still providing a window for other cultures to see where similarities and differences exist. After the showing, each filmmaker will host a 30 minute, virtual Q&A for all attendees.
